Judd Apatow returns to his standup roots

The end of the year is a busy time for the legendary 92Y —in December alone they’re welcoming Zac Posen, Isabella Rossellini, Angelina Jolie, Paul Krugman, and this Tuesday, Judd Apatow in conversation with…Judd Apatow. The talk will support the upcoming Netflix release of The Return, a documentary feature surrounding Apatow’s return to the standup comedy scene. It’s been 25 years since the writer, director, and producer stepped on stage with his own raw material —what with him being a bit busy cultivating comedy blockbusters and helping make stars out of actors like Melissa McCarthy and Seth Rogen —and his talk at 92Y will chronicle everything from his high school radio show to his exhaustive list of producer credits. Tickets start at $45 and the talk begins at 7:30.
